Psychosocialconsiderations
Low mood/depression are common, but these may improve with adequate thyroid
hormone replacement. Data suggest 5–10% of patients may have persistent symptoms
despitetreatment.
Complications
If left untreated, hypothyroidism can lead to cardiac failure and dementia, and can

Rarely,untreatedhypothyroidismcanleadtomyxoedemacoma—amedicalemergency
characterized by hypothermia, hypoglycaemia, bradycardia, cardiac failure, cyanosis,

After commencing levothyroxine or changing the dose, repeat testing should notoccur for a
minimum of 2 months as stable thyroid hormone levels will nothave beenachieved before
this.
Monitoringandfollow-up
TFT should be checked annually once the patient is established on a stable dose of
levothyroxine—TSHmonitoringinisolationisusuallysufficient.

Overview
Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease, characterized by low bone mass and
microarchitecturaldeterioration ofbonetissue,leadingto↑bone fragilityand↑fracture
risk1. Osteoporosis leads to >300,000 fragility fractures in the UK each year. These
fractures occur from low-impact trauma, such as a fall from standing height. The
prevalence of osteoporosis is 2% at age 50, and 25% at age 80 in women. There is a
significantassociatedcost,mostlyrelatedtohipfracturecare.

Fragility fractures result from a mechanical force that would not ordinarily result in
fracture. They are associated with low bone mineral density (BMD) and occur most
commonly in the vertebrae, proximal femur, and distal radius (also consider in the
humerus, pelvis, and ribs). Hip and vertebralfractures are associated with reduced life
expectancy.

The patient groups listed in Table 24.1 should be assessed initially using a risk
assessmenttool(see‘Methodsofriskassessment’).
However, the following two groups should be referred for a DXA scan directly,
withoutusingariskassessmenttool:
Patientsaged>50yearsANDapreviousfragilityfracture
Patientsaged<40 years ANDcurrent/recent high-dose steroid usefor ≥3 months (equivalentto
≥7.5mgprednisoloneOD)ORpreviousfragilityfracture.
Methodsofriskassessment
Two risk assessment tools, FRAX® and QFracture®, are available for use in the UKto

Stopsmoking
Reducealcoholconsumption
Eatfoodswithcalciumregularly.
Pharmacologicalmanagement
CalciumandvitaminDsupplementation
If daily intake of calcium (700–1200 mg/day) or exposure to sunlight is inadequate,
prescribecalciumand/orvitaminDsupplementation,e.g.AdcalD3®,onetabletBD.
Bisphosphonates(firstline)
Forexample,oralalendronate10mgODor70mgonceweekly,oralrisedronate5mgOD
or35mgonceweekly.
Bisphosphonatesblock the action ofinorganicpyrophosphateand thisprevents bone
resorption. Side effects include dyspepsia and bowel disturbance (Box 24.2).
Osteonecrosis of the jaw and atypical femoral fractures are rare but important adverse
effectstowarnpatientsabout.
Contraindications:hypocalcaemia(checkpriortocommencingtreatment),severerenal
impairment(GFR≤35mL/min).
If oral treatment is not tolerated, patients may be referred to a specialist for
consideration of an IVbisphosphonateinfusion,e.g.zoledronicacid, orother specialist
options(see‘Specialisttreatments(non-bisphosphonate)’).
